In Sri Lanka at last

It's Sunday and I'm as ready as I'm going to be for my journey to Sri Lanka.  Abbie is taking me to the airport and on the way, I'll meet with Darryl De Netto from Platinum Cargo.  His companies been helping me since 2009 to get the goods to Sri Lanka.  It was finally very nice to meet up with him and to personally Thank him for his very generous and consistent contribution. 
After that, Abbie and I headed for the airport and check-in.  All went well and I bid her farewell.  I boarded my flight at 3pm and left at 3.50 to head for Singapore for my connection to Colombo.
I arrived here on Sunday night just before midnight.  I was weary and really just needed to sleep. 
As usual, Raja was at the airport to collect me.  He had his younger son Pulasthi with him.  I was very happy to see them both and to feel the warm air in my lungs after such a dull winter in Melbourne.
By the time we arrived at Raja's home, an hours drive from the airport, it was just after 2am (6.30am Melb time).  I really needed to sleep now.  I had a quick shower, fell into bed and slept until about 6am the next morning.  My body clock was still on Melbourne time.
On Monday, I had call from Thariq at SDV Logistics here in Colombo to tell me that the cargo was still to be unloaded from the container and as soon as he had notification from the Port of that, he'd let me know.  It's always a slow process here so I'm not on enforced rest until I hear from him again.
Today (thurs 1st Sept) I spoke with him, the cargo is out of the container (de stuffed) and in the private warehouse waiting for Customs Inspection.  Once that's done and I agree to the amount of duties payable, we'll have it all delivered here to Raja's.
Today, it's hot and sunny, I'm trying to get into the sun to get the Vitamin D I've missed out on over winter, just careful not to over do it and end up sunburned.  I had accupuncture treatment on my hip this morning and have been asked to go each day for the next 7 days.  I've also got to have an oil pad each night.  Let's hope it works, I can't have too much pain with all my busy work coming up.
